Sound familiar? You are not alone
- “I have used all the sutures from my practice kit and need replacement threads”
- “I want more sutures than my kit included — I practise more sessions than a standard kit provides”
- “I am buying a suture pad separately and need threads and needles to complete my setup”
- “I want to practise with the same braided silk threads used in real surgical training”
- “I need both 3/0 and 4/0 sizes to practise different gauges for different wound scenarios”
The MJW Surgical 12 Piece Braided Silk Suture Thread Pack is the most convenient and cost-effective way to maintain a supply of the standard training suture material used across medical schools and simulation centres in the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and USA.
Understanding braided silk — why it is the standard training thread
Braided silk is the most widely taught suture material in medical education worldwide. Here is why it is the recommended starting thread for every surgical trainee:
- Easy to handle: The braided texture provides a natural grip during knot tying — the thread holds position between throws, making knot formation more forgiving for beginners
- Excellent knot security: Achieves secure knots consistently — the flat braided surface creates good friction that prevents slippage during tying
- High visibility: Black colour provides excellent contrast against all suture pad colours — pink, white, silver, and black pads all show black silk threads clearly
- Non-absorbable: Silk sutures remain intact throughout training sessions without degrading — each thread provides a complete practice session
- 3/0 gauge: Slightly thicker — more forgiving for beginners, easier to handle and tie consistently during early technique development
- 4/0 gauge: Finer thread — represents the size most commonly used in clinical skin closure and all dental suturing procedures
- Curved cutting needle attached: Each thread pre-attached to a stainless steel curved cutting needle — load into needle holder and begin practising immediately

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 3/0 and 4/0 silk sutures?▼
3/0 is a thicker gauge — more forgiving for beginners developing needle handling and knot tying. 4/0 is a finer gauge — closer to sizes used in real clinical skin closure and all dental procedures. Both are included so you can practise with each gauge.
Do the threads come with needles attached?▼
Yes. Each of the 12 threads comes with a pre-attached stainless steel curved cutting needle. Load into your needle holder and begin immediately — no separate needle purchase required.
Are these threads suitable for use on patients?▼
These suture threads are for educational and training purposes only — for use on suture practice pads and simulation models. Not intended for clinical use on patients.
Can I use these to replace sutures from my suture practice kit?▼
Yes — this pack is the recommended replacement thread supply for all our suture practice kits and the 14-wound pad kit. The 3/0 and 4/0 silk in this pack are identical in type to those included in our kits.
Do you ship to Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the USA?▼
Yes. We ship worldwide to all EU member states and the USA. Contact us for shipping details and bulk pricing.
How should I store unused threads?▼
